Tilde Karlsson secured her second major title of the year on Monday evening, helping BK Häcken capture the Damallsvenskan championship with a 4–1 victory over Kristianstad DFF at the Nordic Wellness Arena on Hisingen.
The 19-year-old, who transferred to BK Häcken after spending her debut top-flight campaign with Alingsås IF, appeared as a substitute in Häckens guldmatch mot Kristianstad. The victory gave Häcken consecutive league crowns and came with two matches remaining in the campaign, sealing a record of 22 wins, one draw, and one loss across 24 fixtures.
Det känns helt fantastiskt.
Championship Clinched with Two Matches Remaining
Häcken’s dominant run through the 2026 Damallsvenskan season culminated on Monday night in Gothenburg. The hosts established control early, scoring three goals within the opening 15 minutes to effectively settle the contest against Kristianstad before cruising to the 4–1 final scoreline.
For Karlsson, the league title follows a summer triumph in the Uefa Europa Cup. The teenager, whose youth career was spent at Alingsås KIK, has logged 20 league appearances and scored two goals during her first season in black and yellow.
Det spelar liksom ingen roll vad det är för match och vilket lag som vi möter, utan vi ska alltid gå ut med samma känsla och spela vårt spel,
Karlsson said regarding the team’s internal mindset throughout their title defense.
A Family Legacy at BK Häcken
The celebration on Hisingen carried added personal resonance for the Karlsson family. Tilde’s father, Ola, played professionally for BK Häcken during the late 1990s. Watching from the stands in Gothenburg, he admitted to pre-match nerves before the team’s fast start allowed him to relax.
Det är ju magiskt, mycket roligare än när man själv spelade. Man ser hur hon hanterar matcher och pressen, och hur hon utvecklas. I år har hon tagit jättesteg även fast hon var duktig innan. Så att det är en otrolig stolthet alltså,
Ola said.
Reflecting on his daughter’s athletic traits with a laugh, he noted: Alla som har sett mig spela förstår ju att Tildes snabbhet kommer från hennes mamma. Men psyket har hon nog fått av mig.
